PARIS, Oct 29 (KUNA) -- France condemned here Monday Israels decision to
adopt sanctions that would affect Palestinian civilians in Gaza Strip through
imposing restrictions on the supply of power and fuel.
Spokesperson of the French foreign ministry Pascale Andreani told reporters
that such measures have a "direct impact on the already alarming humanitarian
situation" among civilians in Gaza.
She added that the Palestinian civilians should not be taken as "hostages
nor punished in a collective manner."
She called on Israel to "avoid any action that might aggravate the
situation of the civilian population".
Meanwhile, Andreani affirmed that her country also condemns the firing of
rockets from Gaza.
Israel declared on Sunday that it had started cutting down fuel supplies to
Gaza and closed one of the passageways through which food, medicine and other
supplies are transported into the strip.
This action comes within the framework of a decision taken by the Israeli
government to impose sanctions in light of continued rocket attacks from the
strip. (end)
